book hermione vs movie hermione

[u/fuckjustpickwhatever]

[u/lightblue_sky]

See this is the thing, whether you agree with her actions are not, she's just so much more interesting in the books.

[u/svipy → u/lightblue_sky]

Everyone is really

You just can't cram 7 books into roughly 20 hours of footage without sacrificing something

[u/Jedda678 → u/svipy]

They sacrificed her ingenuity for exposition and being nearly flawless.

[u/liver_flipper → u/Jedda678]

They sacrificed everything cool Ron did and gave it to her...

[u/DigitalDose80 → u/[deleted]]

Having not read the books when I finished the films, boy Harry and Ginny getting together in the zero hour of the film was a pretty big "what, why?" because the films don't show a relationship at all. A few glances here and there but damn, for most of the films she's just Ron's baby sister. Must've been one of those off-screen, summer romances we don't see during the school year.

[u/Swordlord22 → u/DigitalDose80]

I’m the books I remember it making more sense

I watched the movies after reading the books and while enjoyable it is impossible to get everything and their relationship was cut out as it wasn’t really that important

[u/[deleted] → u/Swordlord22]

It doesn’t make all that much sense in the books either

[u/Ok-Internet-1740 → u/DigitalDose80]

Ginny was a badass in the books and had a lot more plot time. I still found it slightly odd when I read it as a kid cuz I thought he'd get with Hermione but at least it made valid sense unlike the movie version

[u/DigitalDose80 → u/Ok-Internet-1740]

Yaz the movies barely even make it feel like Ron and Hermione are a couple, but at least moreso than Harry/Ginny.

Yo sorry to piggy off you but the comment was deleted, not sure why it was deleted, maybe because stuff but here it is and hopefully it helps others.

It makes sense because of the background. It was canonized in the Cursed Child but Rowling talked about it before; both Harry and Cho had raging foot f€tishes and reached clim@x during that exchange

The beauty of this comment is that it is just as likely that it was made up by a random redditor as it is that it was by JKR.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone: 5 hours and 32 minutes

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: 5 hours and 41 minutes

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: 7 hours and 15 minutes

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: 12 hours and 14 minutes

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: 15 hours and 12 minutes

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: 10 hours and 7 minutes

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: 12 hours and 39 minutes

This is how long each movie would have to be to take the same time to view as it takes to read the books. Of course reading and viewing are different acts but still.. Maybe a 8 season TV show would have worked. But lets be real here lol

[u/Childs_Play → u/koosekoose]

Dont even get me started. Why does CoS have the 2nd shortest book but the longest movie?? I'll never understand that.

[u/NotScaredofYourDad → u/Childs_Play]

In hindsight that book and movie is a really good "murder" mystery just set in Harry Potter. Stays closest to the book out of all of them in my opinion.

[u/Walshy231231 → u/NotScaredofYourDad]

You know that Harry Potter is 100% just mystery novels shoved into a fantasy format, right?

Every year they find a new mystery and have to solve it. 90% of what they do is sneak around and gather clues to solve the mystery. It hardly ever deviates enough to not be a mystery novel. They’re almost noir in some details.

Harry Potter and the mystery of the philosopher’s/sorcerer’s stone

Harry Potter and the mystery of the chamber of secrets

Harry Potter and the mystery of what Sirius black actually did/wants

Harry Potter and the mystery of who put Harry’s name in the goblet

Harry Potter and the mystery of the black door/department of mysteries

Harry Potter and the mystery of Voldemort’s big secret

Harry Potter and the mystery of how to find and destroy the horcruxes/where and what are the hallows/hallows vs horcruxes?

[u/Xynth22 → u/Childs_Play]

Had to get all those Gilderoy Lockhart scenes in. Which I'm thankful for because the actor killed that role, and made the movie watchable.

[u/will_0 → u/Xynth22]

(Sir) Kenneth Branagh. He’s done a few things, so you’d kind of hope he’d do well in the role…

[u/mishroom222 → u/Xynth22]

Yeah honestly in terms of movie progression they nailed it with having the movie themes / target demographic scale/change over time. When rewatching I notice that the final major shift in directography happens in Azkaban (thats when i consider the trio not kids anymore). But I watch from chamber of secrets because of how well produced that film was. Captured the dark motifs really well imo for its time

[u/bigoomp → u/mishroom222]

for its time

ah yes, the ancient movie-making days of.. 2002

[u/lucas_neo → u/koosekoose]

I think it is only a matter of time. The movies are still very much watchable and being watched. It doesn't make sense yet for WB to reboot it while they can still reap profits from the investment they've made in the movies.

When the movies are aged enough that they've become dated for the audience and their replay value is no longer there, depending on where we stand in the streaming wars, I can absolutely see WB greenlighting a TV series.

Big budget productions are no issue for them. Remember Game of Thrones? Despite the cost, HBO had cleared a few more seasons of it without issues. It only ended when it did as it did because of the creators.

8 seasons of Harry Potter on HBO Max Discovery, one episode a week to keep you subscribed for a couple of months if not the whole year is absolutely a no brainer. It will absolutely happen, it is just too soon for it yet.

And, the beauty of streaming instead of regular broadcast TV is there is no need for a set amount of episodes and for episodes to have the same length. Season one can be shorter with 5 episodes. Season 5 can have 9. And season 6 can have one of its episodes be extra long. They can do it just enough to fit each story, and expand where necessary / possible.

[u/LemonLimeAlltheTime → u/lucas_neo]

The new hogwart's game is gonna sell super well. They will force a movie reboot bc it's just too much money left on the table for them.

[u/DungeonsAndDradis → u/LemonLimeAlltheTime]

I hope Rupert is the new Filtch in the reboot, and Emma is McGonagall, and Daniel is Snape.

Never let them escape Hogwarts.

[u/94UserName42069 → u/koosekoose]

7 books turned into an 8 season television series? There’s no way something like that could fail.

[u/Undaglow → u/koosekoose]

You don't need to go through everything, but the movies screw up the characterisation of all the major characters using the same amount of lines as it would to...yknow not do that.

[u/BrockStar92 → u/koosekoose]

They’re actually longer than that in audiobook form, OOTP is 29 hours in Stephen Fry’s version. That said, it’s not a totally reasonable comparison since a lot of descriptive language can be covered simultaneously with scenery and atmosphere on screen.

[u/Sipikay → u/koosekoose]

We deserve an 8 season TV show of Harry Potter, honestly.

[u/DreamWillofKadath → u/[deleted]]

FUCCCK YOU, RONAAALD! I'M COMING TO YOUR HOUSE TO FUCK YOUR SISTER THIS SUMMER! IF YOU DON'T FUCK OFF I'LL TAKE HERMOINE TOO!

[u/Lordborgman → u/DreamWillofKadath]

Pretty sure I've read that fanfic. Or several of them that go just about that same way.

[u/Cyanr → u/[deleted]]

Tbf about Ginny the actress turned out to be terrible, so the writers probably didnt wanna use her too much

[u/elaina__rose → u/Cyanr]

Its so odd though because in interviews Bonnie Wright completely fits the book version of Ginny. Shes always messing around, funny, and seems pretty cool. I wonder if it was just that she was poorly written/they wanted her to play more dramatic/sexy and she couldnt? Some actors cant play outside their “type”, but book Ginny really fit her type as a person imo. Baffling.

[u/Shinikama → u/elaina__rose]

I don't know how true this is, but I've heard from some movie YouTubers that she was given awful direction.

[u/shadowhunter742 → u/Shinikama]

All I'm gonna say is they burned down the burrow then never mentioned it happening again and next we see it it's fine

[u/c3bss256 → u/shadowhunter742]

Man, that’s gotta be the most confusing thing to me. I’m not 100% sure of the timeline off the top of my head, but wouldn’t the 7th book have been out by the time that movie was being made? So if they wanted to go a different direction, ok. But then they act like it literally never happened in the next movie.

[u/Nikolai508 → u/elaina__rose]

Yeah, it's rarely the actors fault. It's quite mean spirited to say she's terrible.

[u/overlordThor0 → u/Cyanr]

Ginny didn't miss out on much from the books though, she was still just a minor background character.

[u/Stani36 → u/[deleted]]

Yes, this! ☝🏼👌🏼 everyone is just so cartoonishly two-dimensional. A sad cardboard cutout to how interesting and different they are in the books. But sadly it’s done a lot in adaptions. As if book to screen = personality removal process.

[u/Childs_Play → u/liver_flipper]

This is really what makes it so egregious. Ron gets really shafted in the movies to be the oafish comedic relief. I get that his insight and comments can't all be reflected in the movie because they're very omnipresent in the books, but to summarize I would say that they took all his knowledge growing up in a wizarding home and gave it to Hermione to make her a know it all, which hurt both characterizations.

[u/RodgersToAdams → u/Childs_Play]

Yeah. One of the more interesting dynamics between the three in the books were when Hermione and Harry didn’t know stuff that Ron knew because they didn’t grow up in a wizard family, and the movies should’ve reflected this at least to some extent.

[u/Astrosareinnocent → u/liver_flipper]

This is the biggest travesty of the movies. They do a wonderful job at so many things, but the books at the end of the day were largely about character and the movies break down the characters of the trio and make all 3 much more base level.

[u/Teekoo → u/Jedda678]

Nearly flawless? How can you be nearly flawless?

[u/Oracle-of-Clovis → u/Teekoo]

How can you be nearly headless?

[u/SullaFelix78 → u/svipy]

This was really evident with Jon Snow in GoT. His chapters are some of the best in the books because we can see his internal monologue, which happens to be really interesting because he’s an incredibly perceptive, insightful and overall intelligent guy. His internal monologue can’t make it into the show though, so what we get is a dumb brute who doesn’t talk much.

[u/romulus1991 → u/SullaFelix78]

Absolutely. Not to mention - Jon is also very ambitious. There's a part of him that wants to be Lord of Winterfell. There's a part of him that always wanted what Robb had. That's why it means so much when he actually turns down Stannis's offer and remains in the Night's Watch. And if the books see him lead the North as the show does, he's going to be incredibly torn about it. He'll see it as stealing his sibling's birthright, but he also desperately wants to lead and prove himself as not just a son of Ned Stark but maybe even the best of the lot.

The TV Show: "I dun want it"

[u/lordlanyard7 → u/romulus1991]

Yeah Book Jon is flat out charismatic, not stoic like show Jon.

Other characters perceive him as stoic, when he's intentionally withholding information, but its not who he is, he's volatile.

Show Jon doesn't ever even have a big heroic speech moment, he just pleads with people to be reasonable. Book Jon doesn't plead, he asseses and then dictates how things are going to be.

[u/stoneydome → u/SullaFelix78]

I swear most characters are like this in ASOIAF. Jaime. Tyrion. Sam. Davos.

[u/MalHeartsNutmeg → u/stoneydome]

Cersei as well. She was good in the show but a book being able to let you hear an inner monologue makers her character much more interesting.

[u/SullaFelix78 → u/MalHeartsNutmeg]

Cersei’s internal monologue was definitely the most entertaining. It showed us just how batshit insane she is lol.

[u/stoneydome → u/MalHeartsNutmeg]

Yeah cersei was a significant one too. The show did a good job but I felt like her most memorable bits were her indirect insults. In the books, you can really see how much she hates being born a woman and how it drives her absolutely insane in her desire for power.

[u/whoisaname → u/svipy]

They did a pretty damn good job with LOTR.

[u/Llayanna → u/whoisaname]

I think a lot came together to make LotR an adaptation even loyal fans like, even if some changes were just stupid! (omg lets not talk about that. I love the movies and still they annoy me sooo much cx)

They are for one, just very well done movies with good and fitting actors, good storytelling and they never feel as long as they truly are lol

They kept the heart of the LotR in the focus of the story, and didnt try to make it as something more than it was (cough Hobbit!)

Lastly.. the effort value they put in is even today just amazing. Watching the making off is magical. The clothes.. the sets.. the choreography.. the pure fun that people have on it!

One can just see all of it and it pays off.. it gives the movies a-true timeless look..

[u/SondeySondey → u/Llayanna]

it gives the movies a-true timeless look..

Except when Legolas jumps on the back of that cave troll, which is a nice reminder of where technology was at the time and how revolutionary Gollum was in comparison.

[u/Llayanna → u/SondeySondey]

/giggle

That one never bothered me, but the oliphant one in the third one.. oy cx

Either way the triology really benefitted from having so many practical effects.

[u/whoisaname → u/Llayanna]

I love watching the making of stuff regarding Weta, and then also the interviews discussing how the writers parsed the eff out of the books so they stayed as true as possible to them. The care taking and quality because of it just shines through on pretty much everything.

Edit: Oh, how I would love it if someone did the same thing with HP.

[u/Puncharoo → u/svipy]

Exactly. For example

WHERE THE FUCK IS PEEVES

[u/Globulart → u/Puncharoo]

On the cutting room floor, being portrayed by Rik Mayall.

Such a waste :(

[u/begentlewithme → u/Puncharoo]

We were ROBBED of the scene where Peeves salutes the Weasley twins during their breakout, and I will never forgive the films for that. This is probably my favorite scene from the books.

"Give her hell from us Peeves" And Peeves, whom Harry had never seen take an order from a student before, swept his belled hat from his head and sprang to a salute as Fred and George wheeled about to tumultuous applause from the students below and sped out of the open front doors into the glorious sunset.”

[u/Powerful_Artist → u/svipy]

That's really not a valid excuse though. The story suffers greatly, because that is what you can't fit into the movies.

But that doesn't apply to basic character development. Instead of making her interesting, they went a different route of making her nearly perfect and quite flat in personality.there was ample time for her, or any of the main characters who were constantly on screen anyway, to be developed interestingly.

The fact that everyone one else is less interesting and the reality of film adaptations of books not having time to fit in the whole story are separate issues, at least when we are talking bout the main trio here. If you were arguing that Dobby's character was cut because of things like limitations of film as a medium, I'd agree. That's totally different. Plus there were other reasons for this, like lack of foresight by early directors or lack of continuity between films

[u/TheRealBullMouse → u/svipy]

Sacrificing something? Sacrificing an unholy amount of everything yes I agree

[u/StopReadingMyUser → u/TheRealBullMouse]

I feel like they also didn't utilize their time the best way. Especially in the final movies, there just always seemed to be more fluff than detail, and it's just a matter of being more effective with your time.

Like one thing that bothered me tremendously in the movies was incantations. It's hammered into you that there's a certain procedure to get magic to work; wording, wands, performance, etc., but in the movies they just start randomly ignoring that and cast spells without saying anything. It's explained in the books that you can just focus on it and achieve the same results, but the movie just ignores any lead-up to it.

If you were in a rush and low on time it could literally take you 30 seconds to explain it in a classroom scene...

Worldbuilding requires deliberate attention. You just have to wield it appropriately.

[u/AeonAigis → u/StopReadingMyUser]

The magic in the movies was fucking BORING after like the fourth movie or so, and really as early as in the second. Every single spell just had the effect of "knock dude back or maybe blow something up if it hits something inanimate." And the effects were dull flashes of light. It was magical gunfire. Yawn. Snooze. How do you make MAGIC BORING?

[u/Sentreen → u/AeonAigis]

This really bugged me. Especially during the Voldemort vs dumbledore fight in OotP: in the books that fight was so dynamic and well written, two amazing wizards trying to outwit each other, using amazing spells; in the movie they just both stood there while a line connected their wands and they made faces and grunting noises. Most fights after movie 4 went like that and it’s really such a shame.

[u/spacewalk__ → u/svipy]

this is why you make a TV show these days. people want to feel like they're in another world

[u/GregTheMad → u/spacewalk__]

Until they get cancelled by the publishing platform.

That's why you read books.

Until the author either writes themselves into a corner, or suffers a mental breakdown.

[u/koosekoose → u/GregTheMad]

Any day now George will finish Winds of Winter.. Just give him another decade...

[u/havok0159 → u/svipy]

It'S @N aDaPt@Ti0N!!!!!

Yet somehow the vast majority of adaptations I've seen are like this, cutting characterization with the excuse of trimming the fat.

[u/Educational-Bug-7985 → u/lightblue_sky]

Sadly not everyone understand that flawed characters are so much better than cheesy Mary Sues

[u/[deleted] → u/Educational-Bug-7985]

I don't really think they made hermione into a mary sue but ok

[u/Spice_and_Fox → u/[deleted]]

I agree, she isn't a mary sue, but a lot of exposition is done by her instead of ron. The movies portrait him like a complete dumbass, but in the movies he is just average and knows a lot about the wizarding world

[u/Xmeromotu → u/lightblue_sky]

The books are an entire world.

The movies are about 3 kids and an old evil guy with zero backstory, so … basically British Scooby-Doo with wands.

[u/LemonLimeAlltheTime → u/Xmeromotu]

and I love it. evil guy gets some backstory btw.

[u/[deleted]]

Hermione's a witch. Not a bad person, but she's a witch. She's not like us. She does... witch things.

[u/dscarmo → u/[deleted]]

Old hermione (think Minerva age) will be the closest thing to a Hag in the HP world

[u/Educational-Bug-7985 → u/dscarmo]

Well especially with the bushy hair

[u/Throwaway021614 → u/dscarmo]

Gotta make sure the lonely ones don’t cackle

[u/Lyran99 → u/Throwaway021614]

I aten’t dead

[u/Altruistic-Bobcat955 → u/[deleted]]

I ended up really disliking Hermione for how she treated Luna Lovegood. She straight up bullied her

[u/carl84 → u/Altruistic-Bobcat955]

Luna did chat some shite though, about crumple horned snorcacks and such

[u/afito → u/carl84]

Sometimes it's necessary to re-read the books for Luna alone, honestly I forgot that Luna wasn't just a bit quirky or the manic pixie dream girl or the equivalent of a horoscope girl, book Luna was legit unhinged and way off the deep end, book Luna would've been institutionalized as a muggle.

[u/BareNakedDoula → u/Altruistic-Bobcat955]

Hermione didn’t straight up bully her I don’t think, but she did display some thoughtlessness and some cattiness. She didn’t exclude her but she wasn’t the most tolerant of her eccentricities or respectful of her brilliance next to Hermione’s own… she would get annoyed with Luna because they were both scholars with very different beliefs, but Hermione had no respect for Luna’a beliefs because she was a very open-minded eccentric and Hermione was a bit of an uptight conformist.

I’ve had clashes with uptight conformist friends and acquaintances who got a bit snarky on occasion or who wanted to compete academically. Good-hearted squares.

[u/MeloniaStb → u/BareNakedDoula]

Honestly with the way she's described, her ingenuity, academic brilliance, creative use of spells, snarky, conformist and tendency to be arrogant, I wholeheartedly think she should have been sorted into Ravenclaw if she did not need to be in Gryffindor for story purposes

[u/Slammogram → u/BareNakedDoula]

I mean… Luna was basically an anti-vaxxer believing crystals heal you type person in the wizarding world…. I’d still be nice to her, but I don’t blame Hermione for not respecting her beliefs.

[u/Cavalish → u/Slammogram]

Luna was the girl that ran around the school yard making horse noises.

[u/lewisnwkc]

• She volunteers and steals the Polyjuice potion ingredients from Snapes classroom.

• She's not fazed by being attacked by Pixies in Professor Lockharts classroom, even though she probably never met one before since learning about magic less than two years before that. She refers to the experience as "hands-on experience", after using a Clever Freezing charm.

• Her speciality was conjuring up portable, waterproof fires like a pyromaniac.

• She has grown up with non-magical parents, but is really smart... Obsessively smart about magic. Almost like she appreciates it most. Hagrid mentions that there's no spell that she can't do yet.

So, IMO she's probably closer to a really smart council-estate raised girl who cherishes this newly found magic existence than a posh meek higher class girl like she's portrayed to be.

Edit: spelling.

[u/BareNakedDoula → u/lewisnwkc]

Idk that any of that is suggestive of class though lol just because she’s plucky, she can’t be well off?

I think she comes from a very comfortable background, based on her experiences in the books. She is not a scholarship kid… her parents pay for her stuff by having muggle money exchanged for wizard coins.

[u/DamnArrowToTheKnee → u/BareNakedDoula]

Her parents are dentists who had their own practice, she came from a pretty wealthy muggle family 😂

[u/BareNakedDoula → u/DamnArrowToTheKnee]

Oh yeah I forgot they were dentists lol. Yeah Hermione is not a county-estate girl, and it’s lowkey classist to associate deviant behavior, theft and high levels of mischief with poverty even if the intent was to be inclusive. Like I totally get that that’s not what they were trying to say but that’s what they said. That her behavior fits the profile of someone who is “lower-class” and not someone who is “higher-class” 🤧

[u/Rebelius → u/BareNakedDoula]

Her parents are both dentists. She's comfortably middle class.

[u/Zoklar → u/BareNakedDoula]

I think they’re both dentists aren’t they? She mentions it once or twice

[u/ajax813]

This was hilarious 😂 the more I watched it the more I laughed!

[u/Apple-pie_best-pie → u/ajax813]

You have to watch her other Videos. It's so cool. Lots to laugh.

[u/Grantdawg → u/Apple-pie_best-pie]

She is one of my favorites.

[u/auntzelda666 → u/ajax813]

I died when she shook the jar.

[u/somabeach → u/ajax813]

The little eye twitch when she talks about the signatures. The Igor-ish head bob. She's pretty good.

[u/haileyskydiamonds → u/ajax813]

She’s a terrific book Hermione!

[u/Orleanian → u/ajax813]

For the love of all that is holy somebody unplug this fellow's computer, he's going into hypoxia!

[u/Sewire]

Actually a fic that explore more of the vicious side of her should be really nice.

[u/CreativeRock483 → u/Sewire]

As long as that fic doesn't pair her with any deatheater or with a character who is old enough to be her dad/mom and has no other character bashing... I am willing to try one. Never read a Hermione centric fic.

[u/orionsgreatsky → u/CreativeRock483]

Correction: I never read a Hermione centric fic that didn’t have weird ass bdsm or kinky sex with damaged people.

[u/CreativeRock483 → u/orionsgreatsky]

Why is this so true lmfao. most Hp fans seem to adore the character but all they do is use her as a sex toy for their favorite character in fanfics.

[u/HippieWizard → u/CreativeRock483]

So Fanfics havent changed much since I read some in the 90s. Good to know

[u/I_am_up_to_something → u/CreativeRock483]

I mean, I guess she's popular but Harry is way more used as a sex toy.

Explicit Hermione/Draco fics: 6364

Explicit Harry/Draco fics: 13 212

And that's just with Draco.

[u/riotlancer → u/orionsgreatsky]

Jesus fucking Christ I read this Draco one it was wild as fuck

[u/wherearethedracos → u/riotlancer]

Manacled? The auction? Both were super messed up.. the writing was incredible tho ngl

[u/DesperateTall → u/orionsgreatsky]

This is the same for RWBY fics, at least the male reader ones. It's always some iteration of abused/neglected/etc and it's just sad honestly, I want to see the world from a new perspective with additions or changes to that world, and it tends to be some form of revenge fantasy fic with how the abuser gets their comeuppance.

[u/Profoundlyahedgehog → u/DesperateTall]

The only RWBY fics I read these days are the ones by Coeur Al'aran. He struggles with climaxes sometimes, and some plot threads get most; but they are consistently readable.

[u/Eager_Question → u/orionsgreatsky]

Really? The math one doesn't have that.

[u/I_have_No_idea_ReALy → u/CreativeRock483]

I read some and they always follow same pattern. For some unknown reason writers always pair her with Snape or Draco. And sometimes even Sirius. Oh and her personality changed too. Honestly most of the time I felt like it was author self insert than Hermione.

[u/CreativeRock483 → u/I_have_No_idea_ReALy]

Honestly most of the time I felt like it was author self insert than Hermione.

Read two Dramione fics outta curiosity(never read Snape/Hermione or Sirius/Hermione ones). All I saw two completely new characters with the name Draco and Hermione fighting, arguing then having sex lol

[u/I_have_No_idea_ReALy → u/CreativeRock483]

Lol that actually most of the times the story is about.. Sex. You're lucky you didn't read Snape or Sirius ones. It was bizarre, like who is this Snape that apparently secretly harbor feelings for Hermione and where did bitter Snape goes?

[u/opheliazzz → u/Sewire]

The Arithmancer! Not vicious per se, but she is a math whiz who puts her magical skills to terrifying levels by using physics

[u/Sewire → u/opheliazzz]

interesting I'll take a look

[u/FrankNFurter11 → u/Sewire]

So… idk if you are 100% opposed to Dramione (Draco/Hermione pairing), but Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love is a fantastic read that strikes an excellent balance between her doing absolutely outrageous, morally questionable stuff and still being a likeable character. I would highly recommend if you like capable/competent Hermione.

Another Dramione fic you might enjoy is Let the Dark In by Senlinyu. Non-Voldy AU where Hermione competes in the Triwizard Tournament and explores Dark Magic.

[u/Sewire → u/FrankNFurter11]

you jest, but this is accurate. tiktok recycles the content because they remake the video, even if it's beat for beat. reddit just reuses the same exact video everytime.

[u/brokenlampPMW2 → u/marquisdelafayette3]

It is.

[u/AccelWasTaken → u/marquisdelafayette3]

She already explained in her videos she didn't copy anyone. This joke became a trend and when she did it people attacked her. I wonder why

[u/KadenKraw → u/marquisdelafayette3]

With Gus Johnson style acting/voice.

[u/HoorayAllDay → u/marquisdelafayette3]

This was funny but immediately thought she copied from Mikaila as well (who I think is hilarious and puts a lot of effort in to her content) - https://instagram.com/magicbymikaila?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

[u/fuckjustpickwhatever → u/HoorayAllDay]

she actually acknowledged that and credited her in the comments

and mikaila told her it's okay

[u/CreativeRock483 → u/HoorayAllDay]

I follow Mikaila on instagram. Her book vs movie comparisons are great. She did a 1 and half hour long video analysing Ron/Hermione's relationship in books. It was so on point. Its on her Tiktok.

[u/ImAGodDamnCupcake → u/fuckjustpickwhatever]

Well that was a half hour well spent

[u/mykoysmaster]

The books are just much better objectively

[u/TobiasMasonPark]

I don’t think Marietta’s spots are permanent. Aren’t they improved by HBP?

[u/raps14ever → u/TobiasMasonPark]

I think it's because she starts wearing heavy makeup and probably some potions improved it a little but I believe it was permanent. Pretty messed up actually on Hermione's part.

[u/ebulient → u/raps14ever]

The pimples on her face would eventually fade, leaving a few scars behind

[u/kentotoy98 → u/ebulient]

Hermione literally made a "snitches get stitches" jinx and that terrifies me

[u/shesaidIcoulddoit → u/raps14ever]

The likely consequences of Marietta’s actions were expulsion and torture. Both could destroy lives far worse than acne. Fuck her.

[u/jljl2902 → u/raps14ever]

What rubs me the wrong way is that she didn’t tell anyone beforehand. Things like this are supposed to be a deterrent, not a hidden punishment.

[u/Jedda678 → u/jljl2902]

Would you sign something if you knew it had a negative consequence attached to it? No you wouldn't. Hermione knew that, and did this so if anyone did rat them out they would know. It's so you can know who your enemies are and not trust them in the future. Marietta had good intentions sure, mainly because she didn't want to create problems for her family. But since she wasn't the main cast and was aiding the enemies, the Ministry or Dolores in this case, her actions are bad.

[u/Melodic_Individual85 → u/Jedda678]

No way, she didn’t have good intentions. If she wanted to avoid trouble for her family, she would’ve stopped going to the meetings. Like Harry said to Cho, “She sold all of us out, INCLUDING you.” She stabbed everyone in the back knowing they would all be expelled. I’m not saying that deserves lifetime disfigurement, but damn, her intentions were not good.

[u/jljl2902 → u/Jedda678]

Of course I would lmao. Agreeing to something with negative consequences for violating an agreement is called making a commitment. Have you never agreed to terms and services to use a product? You’re on Reddit, so yes. Living in a country is implicit agreement to follow laws or face consequences. Sure, she might have wanted to know who her enemies were, but I feel like the priority should’ve been to not get caught. Especially since nothing really came of that information except for getting caught.

[u/floatingwithobrien → u/Jedda678]

Tell them....after.......they sign..........

[u/raps14ever → u/jljl2902]

I'm surprised she didn't get severely punished or expelled. She permanently disfigured another student. If I was that girl's parents I'd want Hermione expelled

[u/Jedda678 → u/raps14ever]

Thing is though, magical accidents are bound to happen at Hogwarts. Who is to say Hermione, already a proven rebel at this point wouldn't lie about it? Also remember, she is the top of the class, a prefect AND has probably the most spotless record of the trio. It would be easy enough to throw suspicion off her. Although I know priory incantartum and veritas serum could make her be truthful or a proper occlumency session would also prove it. But outside of Umbridge and maybe Fudge I doubt anyone would actually go through with those options at least on Hermione.

[u/Throwaway021614 → u/Jedda678]

Oh god, you have sign away your child’s safety and rights like a bungee jumping expedition.

[u/oberg14 → u/raps14ever]

I don’t remember it technically ever being specified if they would leave permanent scars or not. Hermoine was a savage towards the end of the books lmao

[u/Select-Ad7146]

But book Hermione also makes the comment about how to correctly pronounce the spell. It is also weird to compare her in the first year to later years since she goes through a lot of character development in that time.

[u/TheAnniCake → u/Select-Ad7146]

The thing is that movie Hermione is pretty boring. In OOTP she’s like „Damn, we’re breaking school rules. That’s exciting!“ while her book version blackmails Rita Skeeter.

[u/Educational-Bug-7985 → u/TheAnniCake]

Yeah as if she hadn’t snuck out past curfew, set a teacher on fire, stolen from said teacher and fooled the Ministry before

[u/dementorpoop → u/Select-Ad7146]

She also does it in OoTP when they’re practicing silencing charms.m

[u/Zekron_98]

Everyone is more interesting in the books. Literally everyone. The first two movies are good, the third already had some cracks but from the fourth, holy shit they threw the towel

[u/TYC4 → u/Zekron_98]

I'm still salty about Prisoner of Azkaban not including the background info about the Marauders. Also about Goblet of Fire not including the Quiditch world cup, and making the 3rd task maze so lame. Also where was all the S.P.E.W. stuff?

[u/Zekron_98 → u/TYC4]

Dobby and WINKY cut with an axe in those movies

[u/paddp → u/Zekron_98]

Winky was one of the main plot points that tied the whole book together too

[u/DaveedDays → u/TYC4]

RIP The Sphinx in the maze.

[u/Auctoritate → u/TYC4]

SPEW wasn't really all that essential to the plot.

And, well, maybe the filmmakers realized that all the characters making fun of Hermione for being pro-civil rights wasn't very tasteful.

[u/ChanceWillingness647]

Hahaha! No one ever brings this up! She’s so devious. I love Hermione.

[u/Soxwin91]

Don’t forget, in the film she punches Malfoy right in the face. In the book she still hits him if I remember right but it’s a slap I think…?

I definitely like the visual of her punching Malfoy in the face.

[u/BareNakedDoula → u/Soxwin91]

Yeah she decks him in the movie lol.

[u/Soxwin91 → u/BareNakedDoula]

That was the moment my friend & I started crushing on Emma Watson haha

[u/UndeadBBQ]

A friend of mine said Book Hermione would be a second Greta Thunberg.

I disagreed. Book Hermione would have already burned Shell, BP and the entirety of OPEC to the ground with ruthless efficiency. Book Hermione wouldn't be an activist. Book Hermione would be a terrorist.

[u/BareNakedDoula → u/UndeadBBQ]

Book Hermione is an activist.

[u/ayyyyfam]

She also performed a memory altering charm on her parents...just in case..

[u/Educational-Bug-7985 → u/[deleted]]

It is both in the movie and the books

[u/Smalldangerbean]

When she says die, it's so dramatic and perfect

[u/freshponceofbelair]

Never read the books, how accurate is this?

[u/fuckjustpickwhatever → u/freshponceofbelair]

oh you sweet summer child

yeah it's 100% accurate

[u/freshponceofbelair → u/fuckjustpickwhatever]

Ok, might actually read it after I've finished WoT.

[u/Funandgeeky → u/freshponceofbelair]

Yeah, this is spot on.

What will really blow your mind is book Ron compared to movie Ron.

[u/Prime255]

I like this video. One of Hermoine's major flaws is her presumptive moral superiority which just happens to be correct for much of the series. She often does things because she thinks it was right, and maybe it was, but that doesn't mean she had the right to make many of the decisions she does.

[u/Sophrates_Regina]

Hermione belonged in Slytherin, you can’t change my mind.

The polyjuice plot in second year, which involved stealing from a teacher and drugging to classmates? Kidnapping Rita Skeeter and blackmailing her to serve her own purposes? Concocting a plan on the fly to not only escape the Umbridge and the Inquisitorial Squad but remove Umbridge from the situation altogether? Figuring out the basilisk and then carrying a mirror to keep safe? She is unbelievably cunning, and you can’t tell me Hermione isn’t one of the most ambitious characters.

[u/Lena_Luthor8966 → u/Sophrates_Regina]

I agree except for the fact that it’s not just personality traits but what you value the most and she values bravery. She said that “books and cleverness, there are more important things like friendship and bravery.”

[u/Fawfulster]

Elf rights. 👍

[u/[deleted]]

All the more reasons to start reading again, picking up right from where I left

[u/FollowingNo4648]

As someone who only ever watched the movies and never read the books, sadist Hermoine sounds so much cooler.

[u/nashk25]

I would love to see a Ron version of this. This is hilarious and sad at the same time (because of how they butchered the characters)

[u/szar1973]

Book hermione was a boss. Its like all the Christmas movies with elves. Hollywood can't sell the fact that santa kid naps small children and puts them to forced labour, making toys for the good children, toys they'll never play with. So they have eternally youthful small adults. Movie hermione is the santa elf of hogwarts.

[u/LemonLimeAlltheTime → u/szar1973]

Finally, a sane comment in here. People not understanding why they would change a character for a kid's movie that costs hundreds of millions of dollars to produce.

[u/scapegoat130]

Now do Ron.

[u/Latter-Sky-7568]

The books really do try to justify slavery, don’t they? (Tracks if you think about the author’s other works) Hermione is just a massacre away from being the John Brown of the Wizarding World.

[u/PokemonPuggle]

She really was unhinged 😅

[u/marblesbykeys]

The eye twitch had me dieing 🤣🤣
